Render a html document with its related js in the customrouteview

[ghost]

This simple example of hello is quite astoundingly easy to understand. I wonder what would I need to do have a html page replace that hello country string with its js and css.

You can append whatever elements you want to the view:

var div = document.createElement('div');
div.innerHTML = '<b>foo</b>';
customRouteView.getElement().appendChild(div);

You can place CSS into your extension by listing the files in the content_scripts section of your extension's manifest.json.

You could also put an HTML file into your extension and append it in an iframe if you specifically wanted the isolation that gives, but it's more work.

Btw, that HTML string can come from AJAX'ing a remote HTML file or AJAX'ing
an html file in your chrome extension using chrome.runtime.getURL(
https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/runtime#method-getURL)

We'll add this soon to the docs and add some examples for best practicing
HTML/CSS loading.

'chrome.runtime.getURL' was the thing I was missing. Thanks a ton and yes, a simple example would be really helpful, for newbies. How to go on about having js associated to that html being loaded into the context?
